Additional Resources

What is the difference between "Desk Arms" and "Full Arms"?

Desk Length Arms are shorter in the front, allowing you to roll closer to a table or desk without the armrests hitting the edge. Full Length Arms extend further forward and provide more surface area to lean on or push off from when standing up. Both styles on the Sentra EC are detachable for easier side transfers.

How does the "Hemi-Level" seat height work?

The Sentra EC features a dual axle, which means the rear wheels can be mounted in two different positions. In the standard position, the seat height is 19.5 inches. By moving the axle to the hemi position, the seat height lowers to 17.5 inches, which is ideal for users who prefer to propel the chair using their feet.

Is this wheelchair easy to clean?

Yes. The double-embossed vinyl upholstery is specifically chosen for bariatric use because it is resistant to tearing and can be quickly wiped down with standard disinfectants. The chrome frame is also chip-proof, preventing rust and making it easy to maintain over time.

What are "Elevating Leg Rests" and do I need them?

Elevating Leg Rests (ELR) allow you to raise your legs to a straight position, which is often recommended to help reduce swelling (edema) or for specific post-surgical recoveries. If you don't need elevation, the Swing-Away Footrests are lighter and make it easier to get in and out of the chair.

Can I fold this wheelchair for transport?

Yes. Despite its heavy-duty construction, the Sentra EC folds to a compact 12.5-inch width. To fold it, you simply pull up on the center of the seat. This makes it possible to store in a closet or transport in the trunk of most larger vehicles.

Do the front wheels adjust?

The 8-inch front casters are adjustable in three different positions. This allow you to fine-tune the "tilt" or height of the front of the chair to ensure it remains level and stable, especially when you are changing the rear axle height to the hemi-level.

I texted the chat line after hours knowing I wouldn’t hear until the following day. An hour before the store hours I got a response telling me the item was in stock and would I like them to set it aside for me. I happily said yes and I would be there in the afternoon. When I arrived the item indeed was waiting for me and they even helped with a needed installation. Cheerful and helpful service.

I was pleasantly surprised by the personal service in fitting compression stocking. I had a fairly negative attitude about wearing them. Carson took measurements and showed me an appliance that made putting them on easy and relatively painfree.. Before I left, I had also purchased a walker that converts to a wheelchair for our travels. Customer service is excellent.
